fact that the home Of 81. NJ. Collins was aug
mented on the Sth by the arrival of a little
girl. Hartford is feeling pretty good over
it, but If she had proved boy the town

ing well.
Geo. Carter, Ironton's mail carrier, gener-
al delivery and hackman, has purchased an
omnibus, and In addition to meeting all pas
senger trains, as in the past, he will make
regular trips to and from Pilot Knob. We
trust the venture may prove paying and
lasting one.
A new 'time-card goes into effect next Sum
day. The most important change therein is
in the time of the Accommodation. That
train, after the above date, arrives at this
station going north at $3.50 A. NJ. and reaches
here on the return trip at 1880 P. NJ. 1t will
also make the run on Sunday ,as is customary

Since our last issue, we have learned that
the money raised for the purpose of repair
ing the road around Shepherd Mountain has
been expended thereon, and the party who
had the work in charge completed his labors
last week. We do not know from personal

over the road will show that the money was
judiciously expended. "Wayfarrer," please

aINoUIRER,-It Is no violation of the In
terstate Commerce Law to utilize tramps in
coaling up engines, as we understand the
law. Neither Is the smashing of freight
prohibited, nor the charging Of 800 pounds
freight on 150-pound boxes; in fact, as zoe
understand the law, it does not interfere
with any of the usual prerogatives assumed
by the railroads. On the contrary, to judge
from the manner in which they construe 1t,
1t has added many privileges and taken away
none.
The County Court at its Mar;h term in.
structed the Collector, as soon as he receiv-
ed the delinquent tax book, to commence
proceedings against all delinquents, without
exception, and to let no guilty man escape.
Collector Buford will do bis duty and obey
his orders. He will, In the near future, in
stitute suits against each and every person
whose name appears on the delinquent list.
II this hits you, you will do well to call and
settle ut once and save the additional costs,
as well as trouble, that invariably accompany
legal proceedings.

The repeal of the law of 1857 closing the
81. Louis saloons on Sunday, promises to be
a boom TO the country, in the way of giving
ms better beer. The Wainwright Brewery
Compauy, whose beer has long been classed
as among the best In the U. s., have hereto
fore had all they could do to supply their
eitv trade. but this bill, prohibiting Sunday
beer.seiIing, has materially reduee.i the city
